So, no sooner do I finish posting this, then my cell phone chimes that I have a notification. Just for grins and giggles, my phone sends me my horoscope every day. The irony of this is today's horoscope......"Let go of all the angst you've been carrying around. Stick by the person who's been truest to you, and stop putting energy into worry."

Sometimes you get interesting answers from the strangest of places. I didn't know God knew my cell number.

Oh yeah...God's got all our numbers--in more ways than one. The good news is that none of us have to "figure life out". Life knows it's own plan--or God's plan for our lives. We just have to go with the flow of it.

I remember my great grand mother annoyed me once by saying off-handedly "eh, it'll work out in the end". I snapped at her that nothing was working out and she just wryly smiled and said "then child...it's not the end!"

Lydia, there are people out there who will feel blessed to share whatever time they can with you. But right now spend your time living and being Lydia and being good to Lydia.

Lydia:

I don't think I can give any better advice than what God sent you. I have never planned anything in my life, just keep on doing your duties & God has created wonderful path in my life. yes sometimes it does come with pain, but God has provided enough support & strength in the form of friends and family when I needed one. So just flow with life.

Will, it's called Multi-infarct Dementia, meaning it is dementia due to damage from several strokes. I am working with my doctors and looking at nontraditional methods to be able to minimize the progression of the condition. I want to be able to be independant and vital as long as I can be.
